Attachment 5 RFQ No. 140P8422Q0032 Dispatch System for Yosemite National Park

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

The current radio system at Yosemite NP consists of Motorola Quantar and Codan Repeater/Base radios utilizing Alcatel Mainstreet and 3630 multiplexers to provide function control to the radio. The final solution, the one the new radio console will connect to, will be 100% Codan Repeater/Control radios connecting using RoIP Vlan400 IP with P25 DFSI talk paths. Yosemite also dispatches for Lassen Volcanoes National Park and Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

To save funding and maximize technical knowledge and skill, the NPS Telecommunications Shop was planning on installing the consoles and utilizing the follow-on maintenance support for any installation and software configuration needed for a fully functioning system. During installation, on-site support will be provided by contractor along with on-site technical and operational training.
